Du Yi's eyes were lowered, teasing the little treasure in Meizhen's arms, but he did not answer. She didn't get married, so naturally she had her reasons. Let's not say that she thinks she is still young, just what she encountered in her previous life and what she encountered in this life is enough to chill her. But when she thought about it like this, Zi Yicheng's figure unconsciously flashed in her mind.

Mi-jin was suddenly a little embarrassed because Du Yi didn't answer. When I saw Du Yi with a gentle smile, she teased Xiaobao, occasionally looked at Xiaohuzi and Xiaoshuai, and saw Liniang close her eyes and sleep, so she took out her hand shed and was making a female red.

I don't know how long later, the voice of Peach Blossom came from the door: "Yiyi, Meizhen, my mother asked me to call you to eat!" ”

Du Yi nodded to Meizhen, picked up Xiaoshuai, Meizhen also hugged Xiaobao, Xiaohuzi followed behind him, and went out.

When he arrived at the dining room, Doe was stunned. Didn't you say that the family was lively by itself? What happened to the Qiao couple in front of them, Liu Wang and the village chief, as well as the father and mother of Zhaodi, and Wang Tiezhu and others? According to this situation, at least four tables must be placed.

Originally, the family had to have two tables for dinner on weekdays, but these people in front of me had to have two tables no matter how they said. It's just a birthday, how to make it seem to be very grand, which makes her a little depressed.

"Girl, today is your birthday, and a few of us have come to make you lively and lively uninvited!" Qiao Shi is also a good person now, seeing Du Yi's expression, he naturally knows that she is unhappy, and instantly a smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward to greet Du Yi in person.

The people are coming, and Doy can't drive them out. She just didn't want to be high-profile, and now that she looked at it, she was an insider, and the unhappiness in her heart dissipated a lot. She naturally understands the thoughts of these people, after all, they are all doing things for her, so she wants to take this opportunity to express herself.

Duyi, who sat back in the main seat, suddenly felt a little emotional. Many things, her reaction is very peculiar, could it be that this is the result of three years of being pregnant and stupid? In fact, these people came when they came, and it was nothing. It just so happens that she can take this opportunity to win people's hearts and make everyone more loyal to her. It's just that the knee-jerk reaction just now made everyone cautious.

Du Yi, who realized that his attitude was very important, hugged Xiaoshuai to Liu, and then raised a gentle smile: "Since everyone is here, then sit down." Let's just be casual today, don't worry so much. Second brother, you can help me entertain a few big brothers today and have a drink with them. It's rare for everyone to get together today, and they won't get drunk and go home. Come, sister-in-law Qiao, I toast you! ”

The wine at the Dui women's table, all arranged by the Liu family is wine. On the men's side, the wine is only one bowl per person, and the rest is all home-brewed rice wine.

This was the first time Qiao Shi and the others drank wine, and everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw the burgundy liquid in the bowl and smelled the aroma on the tip of their noses. Zhaodi's mother and daughter and Qiao's have never drunk alcohol, but they have also heard of the price of Du Yi's wine, and the three of them just took a small sip, not caring about whether it tastes good or not, just a distressed drop of blood. Such a small bite is worth a lot of money, enough to buy several meat buns!

"This wine is delicious, but it is not strong enough. I think I'm a rough old man, and I'm only suitable for drinking this rice wine! Just as many women were savoring the sweetness of this wine, Wang Tiezhu, who was sitting in the men's seat, began to shout loudly.

When Yinniu heard this, he also followed: "This wine is delicious, but it is not suitable for this occasion." When no one is around, you have to savor it slowly. On occasions like today, rice wine is a good place to drink. Come on, come on, let's do what the girl said today, if you don't get drunk, you won't return. ”

The greenhouse has recruited more people this year, and the silver cow as the steward has been arranged. This year's greenhouse has added two, and I think I should be able to make a lot of money before the end of the year.

The people of Liujia Village also want to learn from Duyi to build a greenhouse to make money. It's just that the cost is high, and they can't afford to hire people at all, and they don't understand the operation methods, so they give up.

As for working for Duyi, she was not afraid that these people would quit and build one herself. For everyone who worked for her, she had asked them to sign a non-disclosure agreement in advance. Once exposed, or if you do it yourself, you will go to jail, and it is not a matter of compensating the money.

Liujiacun gave a person who worked for Du Yi to sign the agreement willingly. As long as they have silver every month, they can learn skills, and the owner will give rich gifts during the New Year's holidays, which is enough.

Although Qiao's felt sorry for the price of this wine, he was very grateful to Du Yi for letting them drink it.

"Girl, if you don't do that tampon, do we have to prepare to recruit people for the factory you said before? It's November now, I don't know what you're going to do, girl, is there anything I can do to help? ”

In the blink of an eye, Qiao's has been working in the store for almost a year, and it is not long before the peach blossoms get married. She had discussed with Yinniu that it was not a way to stay in the commissary, and that something had to be done when the time came. Originally, I thought that Du Yi would go to Fengcheng in August and hand over to her the errand of managing everyone's money, so as to reuse her. It's just that it's November soon, and Du Yi hasn't said anything yet, which makes her a little anxious.

"Sister-in-law Qiao, let's not talk about this today. Today, everyone will eat and drink with an open stomach, and not talk about work! Du Yi said with a smile when he saw that many people were looking at her.

This matter was asked by Qiao's in public, and the people present, although they were in charge of things, had family members after all. Once they are hired, they will definitely want to introduce their families. Doe pondered that this thing wanted to be done in secret.

But when Qiao Shi asks now, Du Yi naturally understands her thoughts. Originally, Du Yi was going to hand over the factory to her to manage at that time, otherwise she wouldn't need to spend so much energy to cultivate Qiao's at the beginning. This is the idea that Du Yi has always insisted on, and it is also the idea that she wants to monopolize the industry of Ziyang Country in the future and hand it over to outsiders, she is not at ease.

Originally, it could have been handed over to Peach Blossom, but her health was not good, so she shouldn't work too hard. If one day Peach Blossom's body can get better, and she and Qiao's are both concubines and have a tacit understanding, it may not be impossible for the two of them to manage together in the future. No one knows what she thinks in her heart.

Du Yi sat beside Qiao's side, turned his head, and just saw the loneliness flashing in Qiao's eyes, so he privately pinched her palm to reassure her.

Qiao's hand, which was originally hanging down, was suddenly pinched, and he was startled. When he looked up and saw the flashing gesture in Du Yi's eyes, he felt inexplicably relieved in his heart.

She understood that her question this time was a little abrupt, and the girl saw her thoughts, and it was not easy to say it in public, so she hinted at herself in private. But at that moment just now, I almost messed up again.

"Sister-in-law Qiao, what's wrong with you?" Brother Zhao has been paying attention to Du Yi and Qiao's family. When he saw Qiao's subconsciously want to exclaim, he hesitated for a moment and asked. It's just that the voice asked very quietly.

"It's nothing, it's just lamenting that the meal is well done. I don't know who is in charge of the kitchen today, this skill can buy a banquet for people! Qiao's reaction was extremely fast, with a happy smile on her face, which made people know that she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Of course, this time she was really happy, but she didn't pretend to be. Although Du Yi didn't say anything just now, that action undoubtedly reassured her.

What Du Yi didn't know, because this banquet really made her win people's hearts, and she followed that kind of thing loyally all her life. Qiao's husband and wife are smart people, otherwise Qiao's would not have achieved the goal of getting rid of fate with the mentality of stammering Duyi at the beginning.

Before she came today, she had discussed with Silver Bull that if Doe still didn't say anything, then she would find another way out. The couple who have discussed everything, this time they insist on the same as before, as long as Du Yi can promise them a future, they can go to the soup for Du Yi.

Du Yi's silent action made Qiao and his wife finally become Du Yi's left and right arms, of course, this is all a later story.

At the end of the birthday party, Qiao's helped the seemingly drunk silver cow home. As soon as the two arrived at the house, after closing the door of the room, they saw that the eyes of the silver bull who were originally drunk and hazy were clear.

"Daughter-in-law, did the girl tell you anything today?" At this time, Yinniu looked cautious. Du Yi values him now, but his life is divided into seasons, and he thinks that it is not okay for the husband and wife to always fall like this, at least someone has to go further, especially her daughter-in-law. Peach Blossom will have to pass through the door in more than a year, and she will be embarrassed at the shop by then.

"Well, although the girl didn't say it, she hinted at me in private!" With a smile in her eyes, Qiao Shi told her what had happened before and what she thought.

"If that's the case, then let's rest assured. It is estimated that the girl will talk to you in the next few days, and if you have anything to say when you turn back, just tell the girl directly. It seems that we are right, the girl was planning to reuse us in the first place. The girl is also a straightforward person, don't hide anything we have in the future. She was so kind to us, and we have to be grateful......"

On the third day after the conversation between the Silver Bull and his wife, Du Yi summoned Qiao Shi to the study alone to talk.

Mangosteen was about to mature, and Doe wanted to open the workshop. Before that, she had to do her own research and find someone to do it. But she was suddenly reluctant to use mangosteen to make soap. Mangosteen can be sold directly as a fruit, and if it is used to make soap, the petals she used to collect, and some leftovers, whether it is soap for washing clothes or soap for bathing, can kill two birds with one stone.

In the past, she only had one idea to use mangosteen to make soap, but this moment has changed. Mangosteen is still used to sell, otherwise it is a waste to use mangosteen to extract juice to make soap. Thinking of this, she remembered that the red pigment in the exocarp of mangosteen could be used to make yellow dye.

"Sister-in-law Qiao, my workshop has been built, I called you here today to tell you, in the future, I plan to let you take care of the workshop, I don't know what you mean?"

When Qiao Shi heard this, he was overjoyed, and it was really as he guessed. But she really didn't know exactly what the Duina workshop was going to do.

"It's okay to manage, I don't know what the girl's workshop wants to do? In addition, when to recruit, how many people to recruit, what is the salary, and when to start work? ”

Du Yi, who had already decided not to make mangosteen soap, turned his mind at the moment, thinking of the ducks and chickens he had raised at home, and the fluff that people had put away, and a smile bloomed on his face: "It's cold in winter here, and you recruited the fifteen people who used to make sanitary napkins back to make down jackets." In addition, there is a little more thing, I will study it first, and after confirming that there is no problem, I will teach you, you recruit thirty people first, divide them into several groups, and cooperate separately. ”

Qiao Shi didn't understand what Du Yi meant, so he said, "What is that down jacket?" What else is the girl going to do? ”

"A down jacket is a kind of warm clothing, I'll make one first, you can see it at a glance. In addition, I plan to make candles and soap soaps, and when I get back to them, you'll know. ”

Qiao Shi nodded half-incomprehensibly, she knew that Du Yi had a chance, she didn't need to ask more about these things, as long as she was responsible for recruiting good people.

"Don't worry, girl, this is what I will arrange for her. On the human side, the girl doesn't have to worry. As for those thirty people, it's not too late to recruit them after I learn them. ”

Du Yi thought too, in this Liujia Village, it is not easy for the people to live now, and it is very easy to recruit people now.

After Qiao Shi learned that the wages were settled by piece, how much silver was a piece, he left.

Du Yi beckoned Bai Mei and said, "Bai Mei, you have sorted out the fluff of the chickens and ducks that you and Zi Ding had handled, and after a while, I will have people make down jackets." While the weather is not cold yet, let's hurry up and make a batch. When it's cold, our down jackets should sell well. ”

"Yes, the slave will sort it out!" Hearing that those broken hairs that were deliberately left behind were used to make money, Bai Mei was almost dumbfounded.

When Du Yi asked her to do this before, although she and Zi Ding didn't say anything, they expressed their doubts about Du Yi's use of this smelly coaxing thing. The fluff has to be cleaned and deodorized, which is very troublesome. But now when I hear that I rely on this to make money, I can't help but sigh in my heart, in the eyes of Du Yi, what else can't make money?

There was ready-made cloth in the storeroom, and if Doe wanted to make a down jacket, he didn't have to go to town to buy it. After Bai Mei brought a sack of fluff, Du Yi looked at it carefully, sniffed it again, and put it down after a while.

"What do you do with all this fluff?" In his previous life, when Du Yi and his mother lived in the countryside, they would often see duck feathers on the asphalt road. As soon as the weather is hot, there is a foul smell wafting in, which makes people want to vomit nauseously.

White plum and purple lion are capable, and now these fluffs have been processed, not only do they have no peculiar smell, but they also have a faint floral fragrance.

"When the girl is returned, the slaves and maids first boil hot water, wash the feathers and dry them, and then crush the duck feathers and chicken feathers into these tiny fluffs, and then wash them again and again with hot water until they are clean until the slaves and maids think they are clean. Later, it was dried again, and when it was dry, the various petals collected before Zhao Di were piled together and used to smoke these fluffs. ”

When Du Yi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Bai Mei differently again. Unexpectedly, they also knew how to boil hot water to scald, which actually achieved a disguised sterilization effect. And the deodorization technique is also good. It's just that the petals are used to smoke these fluffs, so what about her soap?

"Good, well done!"

Putting aside the soap thing, Doe decided to make the down jacket first. As for how Bai Mei and Ziding crushed chicken and duck feathers into fluff, Du Yi was not at all curious. She doesn't know how high the martial arts of these two girls are. As long as they don't have any disagreement with her, it's done.

Bai Mei and Zi Ding did everything that Du Yi explained in the best direction. Before, when Doy asked them to clean up these things and make them into fluff, he wondered.

Fortunately, now she has been praised by Du Yi, and it is not in vain that she and Ziding have been busy for most of the month.

"Is all this fluff here?" The amount of this hemp bag in front of me is not very large. The result of Du Yi's visual inspection was about twenty catties, and it was still the result of Bai Mei pressing down hard. If there is only such a little, then I am afraid that I will not be able to do this business this year.

"And four bags that big! When the slave maid heard that the girl wanted to keep these fluffs, she took matters into her own hands and asked the second master to collect all the wool such as ducks sold and give them to the slave maid, so there would be so much, and she asked the girl to forgive her sins! ”

Although Bai Mei said this, there was not the slightest sense of guilt in her eyes. As soon as he came into contact with Du Yi's eyes, he remembered what happened to Ziding last time, so he landed on one knee: "This time, it is the slave maid who is in charge of the decision, and I ask the girl to punish her." Whatever happens after that, the slave will definitely tell you in advance! ”

Du Yi didn't speak, Bai Mei's decision this time won her heart. It's just that she can't say it. To be a subordinate person should be to have the appearance of being a subordinate person, and the master's mind cannot be speculated at will, just follow the arrangement.

"It's your first time, forget it this time. If there is a next time, you don't need me to say anything, you know what you should do, right? ”

Originally, the weather was a little cold, Bai Mei heard Du Yi's words, and her back was still in a cold sweat, this time it was her negligence!

"You go and call for a trip!" Liu Ruye's female popularity is excellent, and Du Yi wants her to try it too.

When Bai Mei had just walked for a short time, Liu Ru twisted her waist and came over slowly: "I don't know if the girl is called to come, what's the matter?" ”

At this time, Du Yi and Liu were cutting the fabric and preparing to make new clothes, and when they heard this, they raised their heads: "It's just right to come, I see that your female celebrity is good, how about making a down jacket for me?" If this shirt is done well, when it gets cold, people will not be so cold, and one piece can be topped with ordinary three. ”

When Liu Ru heard this, he was shocked: "Can this be true?" ”

She has been afraid of the cold since she was a child, and when she was a young lady in the official family in her early years, her life was good. Later, I went to Baihualou, although it is the signboard there, but after all, it is open to do business, and it is inevitable that it will be difficult to endure with less clothing. It didn't take long for the root of the disease to fall. When winter comes, my knees are sore when I freeze.

"It's nature!" Du Yi didn't know that Liu Ru had this problem, but Green Willow knew, but this was someone else's private matter, Du Yi didn't ask, and she didn't say it.

"I don't know how to do this, girl, tell me quickly!" Liu, who got a positive answer, was anxious. She thought that if she had learned, she would have made herself a long gown when the time came.

The three of them were busy all afternoon, and the first down jacket was born. Xiaohuzi, who was playing with Xiaoshuai and Xiaobao in the room, patted his hands happily when he heard that he had new clothes to wear, and came to Duyi's study with a jump.

"Grandma, Miss Yiyi, does Huzi have any new clothes to wear?" At the door of the study, Xiaohuzi probed his brain and didn't dare to come in.

Duyi's study is the only place that Xiaohuzi won't go. His father, grandma and others told him that he couldn't go there. Therefore, when he arrived in the study, he probed his brain and did not dare to go in.

"Huzi come over to try on the clothes, if it's not good, my aunt will change it for you!" Du Yi made a long blue-gray down jacket for Little Huzi. Originally, she wanted to make a joyful one, but considering that the child likes to play and touch everywhere, and the down jacket can't be washed often, she made one of this color.

Liu Shi saw that Xiaohuzi was wearing it, it didn't look bloated at all, and the clothes felt light and fluttering in his hands, and he was extremely satisfied.

"Yiyi, this shirt looks good, but it's too laborious to make, and it's more troublesome than making cotton clothes. Even if it is made, the price will not be cheap at that time, and this year is sluggish, we ordinary people will not pay money to buy, and this sales may not be very good. ”
